Fatah: Egypt Plays Central Role in Arab, Palestinian Affairs
Egypt continues to play a central and pivotal role in Arab affairs, particularly the Palestinian cause, according to Abdel Fattah Dawla, spokesperson for the Palestinian Fatah movement.
Speaking from Ramallah via video link during an interview on the program "Up Close with Amal El-Hanawy," aired on Alqahera News Channel*, Dawla praised Cairo's "sincere and tireless" efforts to broker a ceasefire in Gaza that would spare Palestinians from what he described as an "ongoing massacre."
'This Eid al-Adha arrives while Palestinians are still being killed, and the world stands helpless in the face of this slaughter,' he said. Dawla characterized the war as a "genocide" and stressed that despite growing international demands for an end to the war, real progress remains elusive.
He expressed confidence in Arab mediation efforts—especially those led by Egypt and Qatar—describing them as genuine attempts to halt the bloodshed and protect Palestinian lives.
Dawla also emphasized the importance of U.S. involvement, arguing that Washington is the only power capable of applying effective pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 'If it were up to Egypt and Saudi Arabia alone, we would have reached an agreement long ago,' he said. 'But it is Netanyahu who has thwarted these efforts.'

Israel military intercepts Huthi missile fired from Yemen - Region
Sirens sounded in several Israeli cities, including Jerusalem, on Tuesday as the military said it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen, with Huthi rebels later claiming the attack. "Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by the Israeli air force", the military said in a statement. The Houthis later claimed the attack, saying they had fired a missile at Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv. Yemen's Houthi rebels have launched repeated missile and drone attacks against Israel since the war in Gaza began on 7 October 2023. The Houthis, who say they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians, paused their attacks during a two-month ceasefire in Gaza that ended in March, but renewed them after Israel resumed major operations. Israel has carried out several retaliatory strikes in Yemen, targeting Houthi-held ports and the airport in the rebel-held capital Sanaa. * This story was edited by Ahram Online.

UK Plans Formal Recognition of Palestine at United Nations
H-Tayea The United Kingdom will formally recognize the State of Palestine during the upcoming United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York this September, according to statements made by the British Foreign Secretary, as reported by Cairo News Channel. In a decisive and long-anticipated policy shift, the UK's top diplomat confirmed that Britain is preparing to recognize Palestinian statehood as part of its renewed commitment to a two-state solution. The Foreign Secretary described the Israeli government's rejection of that solution, particularly under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as both a moral and strategic mistake that ultimately undermines Israeli and regional interests. He also referenced the Balfour Declaration, a foundational document in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, noting that it was a 'promise' but one that never intended to negate the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. In parallel, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that Britain has already begun airdropping humanitarian aid over the Gaza Strip, in response to the dire humanitarian conditions unfolding on the ground. He stressed that an immediate ceasefire is urgently needed, and that Israel must not proceed with the annexation of any land in the West Bank. At the same time, Starmer reaffirmed that Britain's support for Israel's security remains unchanged, signaling a nuanced approach that calls for accountability and restraint while maintaining long-standing strategic alliances. Speaking on the humanitarian crisis, Starmer said the situation in Gaza is catastrophic and reiterated the need to allow unhindered entry of aid to the population. The comments from both the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary reflect an evolving UK foreign policy stance that seeks to balance security concerns with international law and human rights obligations. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
